Lord Clinton, largest landowner in Devon and a popular and conscientious countryman – obituary
His energy was boundless and his informality exemplary: ‘Don’t call me Lord Clinton. It makes me feel old,’ he would say. ‘Call me Gerard’
The 22nd Baron Clinton, who has died aged 89, was a popular figure in his native West Country and far beyond, as a landowner, farmer, yachtsman, shot and countryman.
The three Clinton estates in East and North Devon extend to more than 25,000 acres, making it the largest private landholding in the county. “The Clinton title is embedded in holding land,” Lord Clinton wrote in an official history of the barony, the seventh most ancient in England, created in 1299 by Edward I. “It has been of fundamental importance to me to manage and build on all that I inherited from my great-grandfather to pass on to the next generation.”
He was born Gerard Nevile Mark Fane, on October 7 1934 at 23 Belgrave Square, London, in what is now the German Embassy. His mother was Gladys, née Lowther; his father was Charles Fane, elder son of Harriet Fane, who was herself the elder of two daughters to Charles Trefusis, 21st Baron Clinton, who had no son.
Charles Fane was killed in action in Flanders shortly before the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940, when his only son was five years old, and his two daughters even younger……
In 1957, on his great-grandfather’s death at the age of 94, the barony fell into abeyance, first between his daughters Harriet Fane and Fenella Bowes-Lyon, and then, after Harriet’s death the following year, between Gerard Fane (Harriet’s grandson and heir) and Fenella, Gerard’s great-aunt, who subsequently waived her claim to the title. On March 18 1965, on the termination of the abeyance, Gerard received a writ of summons to Parliament as the 22nd Baron Clinton.
In 1959 Gerard Fane married Nicola Harriette Purdon Coote, always known as Nicky. A year earlier he adopted the surname Fane Trefusis by deed poll, combining the family names of his father and great-grandfather……
He was active in the House of Lords between 1965 and 1999 and served as a Justice of the Peace for 20 years until 1983 and as a Deputy Lieutenant of Devon from 1977. He sat on the Council of the Duchy of Cornwall from 1968 to 1979, and was president of the Devon County Show in 1978 and of the Royal Show in 2003, held at Stoneleigh Park……
Lord Clinton is survived by his wife and by two daughters and a son, Charles Patrick Rolle Fane Trefusis, born in 1962, who succeeds as the 23rd Baron.
Lord Clinton, born October 7 1934, died April 2 2024
